someday i'm gonna break free ;

 Be aware that if we happen to discover records of the names of any students engaging in inappropriate activity, we will have to take the proper disciplinary actions against not only those students but also the teachers who encourage it. 

Well luckily there won’t be any records of the Switches (students or other teachers) appearing in the class. Though I’ll happily accept any punishment that could potentially come my way because of this.

You’re amazing, Sir, and I thank you wholeheartedly for standing up for Switch visibility in a time when we need it most! I refuse to be reduced to merely my submissive side; especially when it’s the Dominant classes that I could most benefit from. Obviously no one even thought about that possibility when they assigned us to these classes; they just shunted us all to the submissive classes as though we’re only meant to be but one part of our full identity. 

Of course, Miss Berry. I’m glad you’ll be attending and hopefully it’ll help you and get back on track with how things are supposed to be. If I do anything to help, please don’t hesitate to ask.

While a part of me is worried about it and the consequences, the other part is saying: ‘what the hell’, so I will attend to the Dominant remedial class. You’re amazing, Sir Marshall, thank you for helping us out. I definitely do need those classes.

I’ll take whatever consequences occur if it happens, but i’m trusting that all who attend my remedial classes will know better than to tell on something that shouldn’t even need to be told on in the first place. I’m looking forward to seeing you there, Miss Berry.

I knew you were super awesome, Sir. I think I might like to come actually. I haven’t been in a very… Dominant headspace lately. Maybe it could help. 

Please feel free too, Miss Porter. I suggest also doing scenes that involve you being the Dominant. I don’t want your dominant side to be on the backburner because of these classes.

Kids rush into things so easily. I just don’t want them getting hurt more than they already have.

I wouldn’t have signed them off on the claim if I didn’t think they were ready. So having them both come to me to annul it was a big shock -- and then everything that happened with Max the other day was just frightening because it’s obvious that them doing it was a disaster. And from what I can see she’s not doing too great either.

Hey, they’re all going to be okay. You and Trinity got through stuff. I know it’s different but still, if your son can get through this, so can Maxim and Kitty’s children. And Rhiannon. It’s a mess but it’ll be solved.

It’s different. Trinity had you -- you were always kind of his dad. Gabrielle got sick right after he was born. I wish they didn’t annul their claim. It’s just going to make things harder for them when he gets home and they fix things like I know they will.

The McWilde sitch? Or the law change? Has it been really bad?

A mix of both. This situation is now affecting three people and the two children involved even if one is stuck in the hospital for four more months. The law change is the law change. We’ve been through many of those. I hate the class, everyone hates the class.

We’re liberals living the conservative life. I guess it is pretty confusing, huh?

I’m... slightly stressed from recent events I’ve had to deal with because of work. But otherwise I’m doin’ alright.

Yeah, but… I’m never going to replace you no matter what, silly.

I know that, and I’m never replacing you. I’m glad you’re happy though, babe.

PRIVATE + HUSBANDOS

Your replacement? Says the man with an actual girlfriend.

[from marshall] PM: how are you doing, son?

PM: Well yeah, but still. It just.. I dunno. Struck me weird.

PM: I’m the claim advisor. People can’t view me that weird if they’re letting me advise their claims and shit.

[from marshall] PM: how are you doing, son?

PM: Thanks, I just.. don’t have a good relationship with people who claim me as their son so.. yeah.

PM: Well you’re not my son. You’re someone I care about and want the best for.

[from marshall] PM: how are you doing, son?

PM: I don’t like names like son or kid, so I was trying to get you to stop. My parents are jackasses and I’d rather not someone else try to push that on me.

PM: My apologies then, Max.

[from marshall] PM: how are you doing, son?

PM: I wouldn’t put it past me, buddy. I never got to really be a little kid for long.

PM: Buddy, huh?

[from marshall] PM: how are you doing, son?

PM: Maybe I don’t deserve good. I’m sorta a monster, pal.

PM: Fun fact, kid. Everyone has a little bit of a monster in them. But everyone is also just a scared little kid hiding behind the monster because they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.

[from marshall] PM: how are you doing, son?

PM: I resent myself more than I resent Kitty. I should have done more. I should have known. I was just so fucking busy all the time and– and I just.. I hate that I didn’t do more. I know you also don’t know– I mean you do know, but like you don’t know personally how drastically my life has changed me. Like, I struggle a lot more than the average human with normal fucking tasks because I went through 8 years of something I thought was solid and now I fucking second guess my damn self all the fuckin’ time.

PM: Believe it or not, you’re still healing from your past and unfortunately it’s put a damper on a good relationship that you had. But trust me when I say that you’re going to be fine, son. I honestly and fully believe that.
